Sex dungeon live streaming erotica for fetish fans as pandemic shuts down dominatrix

UK – Coronavirus has forced the world into lockdown and now sex dungeons are having to go ‘above ground’ and online to start streaming their kinky content and keep their businesses afloat amid the global pandemic

Coronavirus has changed everything about the way we live. Social distancing has made it difficult for many self-employed people to stay afloat. And that’s especially true of dominatrixes.

n the US, for example, the massive government Covid-19 bailout bill specifically excludes legal sex workers from protection.

Swarm, a sex worker-led collective, says that it has already used donations to support over 200 sex workers.

But many more dominatrixes are just making the best of a bad situation. Top UK dominatrix Mistress Evilyne explained to Daily Star Online that she has always had a sideline in online video, and the lockdown has just made that side of her business more important.

She uploads a new “socially-isolated” video every couple of days and broadcasts a regular live stream of herself reading erotic stories: “I also interact with my followers via private message and make extra money from them sending me tips to show their gratitude and appreciation,” she says.

But Mistress Evilyne was in a better position to make the switch than most of her peers: “I started camming as soon as I became a dominatrix,” she says. While she has video stores on a few platforms “my online income mostly comes from OnlyFans.”

She says that most of her regular slaves have followed her online now, and more are finding her every day: “I rank very highly on Google,” she explains, “and I have close to 50K followers on Twitter.

It isn’t easy though, she says, there is a lot of hard work involved in establishing an online presence. “It took me years to create not just a persona, but also enough content to earn a decent living from. It doesn’t happen overnight,” she said.

One of the biggest problems is making sure that her content isn’t copied by unscrupulous fans: “Unfortunately, none of us are immune to the laws of the internet.

“Once I finally did have a large following, I started to see my content being pirated left right and centre. It happens on such a scale that it is impossible to keep up. New pirated material appears faster than you can get it taken down.”

Still, Mistress Evilyne has built the following and the expertise to weather the storm: “Thank goodness I had already built up my online presence before this hit.

“It will be a very difficult transition from realtime to online for a lot of sex workers. My business has barely been impacted at all because I already had a strong online presence and established sources of online income which are booking in the current climate.”

Mistress Evilyne also uses social media to share knowledge about monetising content with other dominatrixes: “We all support each other with tips and advice,” she says. “I run a private group chat dedicated to kinky content creators using subscriptions services such as OnlyFans, LoyalFans and AVN stars.”

She’s also one of the organisers of The Femdom Ball – a regular annual event for dominatrixes and their slaves – but she isn’t completely sure whether this year’s will be going ahead yet: “The annual International Femdom Ball is still very much on the cards for October. We shall wait until closer to the date to make a definite decision on whether or not it will take place this year. “

Coronavirus has changed everything about the way we live.

But maybe people who are used to living differently have already made a head start on that.

A Dominatrix on the Surge in BDSM During Coronavirus

As quarantines went into place around the world due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, signups on my BDSM training website surged. The first wave came when China went into lockdown in January, but an even larger one arrived when major cities in the U.S. started shutting down.

The world of BDSM, fetishes, and power dynamics are a comfort for many in the best of times. So it isn’t surprising to see people moving toward websites and services such as mine in times where they seek even greater levels of reassurance, understanding, and intimacy.

When news of COVID-19 first hit me I reacted like many of us may have: I thought about my family and my personal safety. I felt an uneasy uncertainty about what was to come. But as my Dominatrix side kicked in, my fetishes for latex hoods, imprisoning others, and mummification (where you literally wrap someone up in different materials like an Egyptian mummy) started to titillate and perhaps distract my mind.

BDSM is made up of many parts that include specific fetishes, such as feet or bondage, and power dynamics like those between a Dominant and submissive. These interests and needs can be considered taboo, and identifying with them tends to already isolate you from everyday society. So when you do find people who accept and appreciate your desires it can lead to heightened levels of shared honesty, understanding, and intimacy. It can create a bond and provide a comforting space where supposed extremes of personality are treasured and maybe even relished within.

Then there are the roles and the comfort that they can provide in and of themselves. Be it Mommy-baby, Mistress-slave or Dominant-submissive—when you choose to subscribe to a specific role it can lead to a sense of liberation. It can offer a chance to leave everyday life behind and step into the surrender that being a “baby” may allow or to embody a sense of control that the role of “Mistress” may require.

In these times, I am seeing my pool of submissives move a little more toward their “baby” sides—embodying a sense of helplessness and rolling around in it. Now, as someone who identifies as a Dominant and Mistress, I attract personalities who seek to offer their vulnerability to me regardless. But what I have seen since quarantines and lockdowns arrived is that a slightly higher need for attention, reassurance, and a sense of protection has come with it. Those who are new to me are spending a lot of time logged in to my BDSM training site, and the dedicated ways that they are completing their courses and tasks is endearing. But among those who I’ve known for longer and on a deeper level, I see how their usual desires have acquired an added intensity, and their need for my support in the events of their lives is elevated. Their particular kinks—be it for latex, anal play, or chastity—haven’t shifted but they’ve had to become more virtually-administered, and I predict that 2021 is going to be quite an exhaustingly pleasurable year for us.

“Among those who I’ve known for longer and on a deeper level, I see how their usual desires have acquired an added intensity, and their need for my support in the events of their lives is elevated.”

Pre-coronavirus I would travel to meet with my inner circle of slaves and submissives each month and we would share two or three days together in cities around the world. We would visit fetish shops, attend BDSM events, and meet up with my network of Dominatrices. I hung on to this routine for as long as I could. But three weeks ago, on my way to such a trip in London, I had to turn around at Singapore’s Changi Airport and return to Bali. They were closing the Indonesian borders to U.K. arrivals and I didn’t want to be barred from where I have come to consider home. But with this I had to leave a slave of mine on their own, already in London, and perched right on the cusp of lockdown. My slave was also there for a work trip, but regardless of that distraction their tone shifted, and despite my efforts for more frequent interaction there was a hint of panic in his voice.

Now this slave is back in their home country—albeit in quarantine, and thankfully his tone has quietened. But that edge and panic soon began to show itself among all of my submissives as my other travel plans came to a standstill and the prospect of us meeting up went on an indefinite hold. My submissives began to reach out through messages with greater frequency, and as the reality of being grounded in Bali took hold I began to devise a strategy for us. I have now started a roster of weekly or fortnightly video calls where we mostly talk about our lives and families, we make plans for once these times are settled, sometimes we swap business crisis-management ideas, and occasionally we play to our kinks. In between these calls I assign them tasks to enliven their quarantines and remind them of us: business shirts and latex chaps during Zoom meetings, YouTube-ing various handwashing techniques, and one slave and I are even about to embark on an academic online course together. 

With that being said, I don’t feel too much has changed in our relationships. There may be an extra sense of the unknown but my role as our leader and them as those under my care continues. When these times pass and borders re-open our routines will shift again, perhaps even back to what it was before. I may go back to traveling with my submissives every month, and we may even find ourselves at fetish events among their thousands of attendees. Some may have acquired new kinks for being washed thoroughly or may be embracing a newfound desire for spit as edgeplay.

The initial lockdown may have taken hold of many of us, inspiring an influx of interest in my BDSM training site and a panic among my nearest and dearest. But what has shown itself so far is that the need for connection, intimacy, reassurance, and stability prevails, as always—and BDSM and the nature of the power dynamic that I practice as a Mistress over my submissives seems to provide for this. The times simply make it more obvious.
